Recently, we were honored to welcome Pensacola’s Chief of Police to AMIkids Pensacola!

Chief Winstrom stopped by to present the City’s generous donation from the LETF and spent time touring the program and having a meaningful conversation with students about building stronger relationships with the community.

Thank you, Chief and the Pensacola Police Department, for your support and investment in our youth.

We appreciate your commitment to making a positive difference.

Twice a month, we have "Dress for Success" and conduct Mock Interviews to get our students ready to tackle any interview that comes their way. One of the most valuable skill sets AMIkids Pensacola teaches.

Leadership isn’t just a title—it’s opening your doors, engaging, and investing in the next generation.

Sheriff Chip W. Simmons and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office welcomed AMIKids into their space yesterday, taking time to connect with our youth as they gear up to serve as judges for our upcoming event—and it meant more than words can say.

This is what real community partnership looks like.
This is what it means to lead with heart.

Now we invite YOU to be part of it—

🎭 Come in a costume
🎲 Come as Vegas—high roller, showgirl, poker face… anything goes
✨ Come in glam (or all of the above)

Halfway to Halloween: A Haunted Vegas Night is going to be unforgettable—and it’s all in support of changing lives through AMIKids Pensacola.
